Xbox OneThis week's big new release, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, takes the lead as the most started game with 15,000 starters and eight places on Achievements Won. Mad Max is the week's next biggest release but has to settle for third behind Evolve, which grabs over 10,600 starters thanks to being made free for the weekend. It also grabs those last two spots on Achievements Won, denying Max of a place.

XBLAThe single day of freeness also applied to Goat Simulator (Xbox 360) so naturally it takes first place with 1,200 starters, fills up Achievements Won and leads on Completed. Elsewhere, the week's sale plonks Assassin's Creed Liberation HD into tenth with over 80 starters.

Windows PhoneTwo welcome new releases on Windows Phone arrive in the forms of Doodle God Blitz (WP) and Imperia Online (WP), but neither manages to topple Twins (WP) from the top spot even though that game drops from 1,070 to 580 starters. All three claim places on Achievements Won though Twins only claims a single spot at the top with the other two sharing out the rest.

GenresShooter maintains its lead thanks to Evolve though Action-Adventure closes the gap in second with Snake's influence. The Deer God boosts Platformer up from seventh to fourth whilst Sports slips down from fourth to seventh as Madden NFL 16 loses momentum.
